Extract

The validity of the subgenus Hyalommina is discussed and reaffirmed.

Hyalommina is differentiated from Hyalomma by the absence of the subanal plates in the males and by the humped tarsi and the more or less hexagonal basis capituli in both sexes.

The male and the female of H. rhipicephaloides Neumann, 1901 are re-described. The larva and nymph of H. rhipicepholoides are described for the first time.

The Indian species H. hussaini Sharif, 1928 and H. kumari Sharif, 1928 are re-described. H. hussaini var. brevipunctata Sharif, 1928 is considered as a species inquirenda.

H. lewisi Schulze, 1936 is synonymized with Hyalomma truncatum K., 1844 (Feldman-Muhsam, 1954).
